1st level out of 3 (combination) = 3c1 = 3
2nd level out of 4 = 4c1 = 4
3rd level out of 4 = 4c1 = 4
4th level out of 4 = 4c1 = 4
5th level out of 4 = 4c1 = 4

so total games = 3*4*4*4*4 = 4^4 * 3 very large no!

none of the given answers :shock:

I think this question is discussed before and 'definition of Game' was the cause of confusion... Let me see I can find that discussion...

Of course the correct answer is 'E' guys.
We must multiply here. Adding is not applicable to answer this question.
